Nationwide Arena hosts a small ice rink called the OhioHealth Ice Haus, which is home to the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. It is also one of the three sports arenas in Columbus that hosts Arnold Schwarzenegger’s sports and fitness show, Arnold Classic. The venue was originally named after Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, which owns the majority of the property, and is one of the very few privately financed arenas in the United States. In February of 2012, Nationwide Insurance sold the facility to the (FCCFA) Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority.
